Gisborne aka: East Coast, East Cape

Welcome to the beautiful East Coast – it is truly a spectacular and best kept secret!

Worst place in NZ Grew up (well till I was 10) here.
Hate it.

Gisborne is a pretty city. I have been there in summer and it has always been very hot. The trip around the East Coast is always fantastic. There are some amazing little places to visit along the way…Te Kaha, TeAraroa, Ruatoria, Tologa Bay, Tokomaru bay to name a few…The whole East Coast has a wonderful feeling about it….it’s not commercialised and over run with tourists and the people are very friendly.

Had a good few sessions with a Priest surfing the pipe… Class place, very chilled.

Total escapism.
